yes, try not to go under 40 watts a sq. ft.Hey there, thanks for your response
I dont think I have the luxury of having a separate veg room. Veg and Flower will have to occur in the 16x8 space.
Also I had a feeling 4 lamps would be way too small. I was thinking 6, is this advisable?

I didn't do the exact math on it but the gold standard is 50w/sqft. Hid such as hps and mh will give you the most lumens given you control heat. Cfls work but need to have a fan(s) blowing on them but are good for side lighting... And leds run cooler some people get similar results to hid can be placed closer to tops and are great for side lighting uv and getting those w/sqft up without killing the meter man and your wallet.Hey there, thanks for your response

Use training techniques to fit the girls to the space and level out the canopy(s). flip when they are 1/2 to 1/3 the height you want to finish
Flip: to Change lighting schedule from veg to flower. ex: 24/0, 20/4, Or 18/6 for veg to 12/12 to induce flowering. (budding)
10 Or 12 in 10 gal pots
2 month veg if ya have the ceiling height
Under 4 1k or 4 600w
Veg in a Sep room and harvest a few one week and replace with vegs... Rinse and repeat for perpetual.
With everything dialed in you could theoretically get 8-10 oz per plant
hey sorry for the late reply, but is it possible to split a tent so that one area of it is veg and the other is flower?
if so, how much of a 16x8 tent would you dedicate to veg?
